M. Dalbert Ma

I am a doctoral candidate in Strategy & Entrepreneurship at London Business School. My research explores how artificial intelligence and broader digitization reshape organizational adaptation and firm boundaries. In particular, I investigate how firms navigate technological change, reconfigure capabilities, and make scope decisions as new digital technologies emerge.

My dissertation is supervised by Professor Michael G. Jacobides.

Prior to joining London Business School, I earned an MSc in Management from IESE Business School, an LLM in Law & Economics from Pompeu Fabra University, and a BA in Philosophy, Politics & Economics from the University of York. Earlier professional experience includes roles at the People’s Bank of China, Deloitte Financial Advisory, and Sunshine Insurance Group.

Outside of research, I try to stay active through tennis and boxing, and like to explore London's cultural scene. I enjoy finding new wine spots, grabbing a fresh bagel in East London, and checking out fine art.
